I get the same error for Spyware Blasters and Spybot. I notice the Last Used: (date) for each of these is reset about the time when I first downloaded them on about a year ago even though I have been using them occasionally.

I was able to delete Avira and I put Avast on and it found some viruses but did not fix none of my problems.

I tried to download a fresh Spybot and Malwarebytes anyway hoping they would remove the older programs settings during the new installation of the newer program. During the removal, every file on the older program is a read-only file. Then the installation fails.

Revo Installer program worked. I was able to remove the antispyware programs and reload fresh copies and they all can update

The hotfix program did not work to get the Service Pack to download

I get Update for Office 2007 (KB946691)
After "running updated detection, please wait", I get "the expected version of the product was not found on the system"

Another problem I have is when I launch Internet Explore I get

Internet Explorer - Search Provider Default

"A program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider setting for Internet Explorer."
"Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider, Bing(www.bing.com)"
"Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install search provider"
After clicking OK I get another popup
Manage Add-ons
View and manage your Internet Explorer add-ons with some options in the text.
